A Congolese traditional wedding is a vibrant fusion of customs, celebrating with family and music. It begins with ‘The Knocking’, where the groom’s family formally requests the bride’s hand. The ‘Dot’, a gift-giving ceremony, follows, symbolizing the union’s approval. Attire is colorful, dances are lively, and the atmosphere is joyous. Respecting elders and adhering to cultural norms is paramount. This patriarchal event blends indigenous traditions with colonial influences, creating a unique, eclectic celebration of love and community, often culminating in a Western-style ‘white wedding’.
